It’s really starting to feel like summer around here, temperatures are expected to hit 90 today. I can actually smell summer in the air, which gets me sooo excited!! After a long weekend of going to BBQ’s and too many glasses of sangria, this week I am keeping it low carb and light. I love shrimp, it’s naturally lean and cooks in minutes, which makes it perfect for a quick weeknight meal. I’ve attempted shrimp cakes in the past, but always had issues with them holding together well. This time I decided to pulse the raw shrimp in the food processor and that worked out perfect. I left some of the seeds from the jalapeno to give it a little heat but you can leave them out if you don’t like spicy food. My plan was to grill them but the patties were a bit delicate. I decided to saute them on the pan instead, which worked out perfect. Topped with fresh lime juice and a few thin slices of avocado on top, this was flavorful and light.
